SPN 107 FMI 3
Low (Maintenance Warning)
System Overview: Air Induction System
Air filter restriction sensor signal voltage exceeded 4.85 Volts DC, indicating an open circuit in the sensor return line.
Driver Symptoms
- Yellow air cleaner restriction indicator warning on dash display
- Normal engine power maintained (no derate unless intake restriction exceeds 25 in-H2O vacuum)
Probable Causes
- Disconnected harness connector at the air intake duct restriction switch
- Broken sensor ground wire in engine front harness
- Completely plugged primary air filter element
Diagnostic Steps
- Inspect visual mechanical restriction sight glass gauge (Filter Minder) on air box ducting
- Check 5V reference supply and ground across the 2-pin connector
- Replace primary and secondary safety air filter elements if restriction exceeds 20 in-H2O (5.0 kPa)
Sensor Wiring Pinout: 2-Pin Connector: Pin 1 (+5V / Signal), Pin 2 (Chassis Ground Return)
